biopiling

Biopiling is an environmental remediation technique used to treat contaminated soil, particularly from oil or hazardous materials. It involves piling up the contaminated soil in a controlled area and adding nutrients, water, and sometimes air to stimulate the growth of naturally occurring microbes. These microbes break down pollutants, effectively cleaning the soil over time. This method is cost-effective and environmentally friendly, as it harnesses nature's own processes to restore contaminated sites without the need for harsh chemicals or extensive excavation. Biopiling is particularly useful for large-scale soil contamination projects.
